The Seattle Seahawks opened the season hot, in part because of the phenomenal play of second year tight end Will Dissly. Unfortunately, a torn Achilles tendon in Week 6 ended a second season in a row for Dissly, and left the Hawks with very little depth at the position following the trade of Nick Vannett to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
However, with a Week 8 contest against the Atlanta Falcons set for this weekend, Ed Dickson, who went on injured reserve prior to Week 1, is set to return to practice.
